R&D and process optimization at existing operations.

PWG offers consulting and product research services for expanding theoretical and practical knowledge of organic Chemistry including bleaching and purifying fats and oils for purity and bioactivity.

Our onsite engineers and network of organic chemists bring extensive practical experience from the Nutraceuticals, Alkaloid extracts as well as terpenes & flavorings markets. We focus on chemistry services tailored specifically to finding creative, innovative, and scalable SOPs for purification, refinement, formulations, bioactivity, and molecular synthesis from diverse feedstock.

We help establish a foundational understanding of the functional groups in specific oils, phytonutrients, and other nutritional extracts to include selective reactivities.  Through this, we strive to aid you in understanding the dynamics of matter and why certain molecules behave and exhibit specific properties.

Bring your ideas, problems, and product aspirations to PWG and through us, let’s deliver tangible results to your business.

Phytochemical/Alkaloid Extractions

PWG offers engineering and consulting services for extracting high-value natural products. We have developed unique procedures and specialized engineered equipment for processing phytochemicals from plant sources, mycochemicals from fungal and other specialty chemicals from microbial sources. We can help you devise and/or optimize the extraction and isolation of valuable natural products/secondary metabolites from a continuum of biomass sources, including alkaloids, terpene/terpenoids, sterols, phenolics, organosulfur compounds, and everything in between.

Previous projects include:

• Selective isolation of bioactive alkaloids from Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom).
• Extraction and clarification of sophorolips – a high utility biosurfactant from Candida bombicola.
• Extraction and isolation of Kojic Acid from Aspergillus oryzae, for use in the cosmetic industry.
• Essential oil extraction/refinement and terpene isolation from aromatic plant sources.
